Is there a clever way to create an Old Testament visual filter of quotes that are made in the New Testament? I figured out how to make a wild card visual filter of O.T. quotes in the N.T. using the Holman Christian Standard Bible, but this visual filter shows up in the N.T. I want an O.T. visual filter. I thought it would be useful to see where the N.T. used the O.T. as I was reading the O.T. Thanks!

i could not find a way to highlight all the words quoted from the OT, but found a way to highlight the footnotes

1. Create a new Visual Filter.

2. Select Basic, your Bible with footnotes (ESV), and Footnote Text.

3. You will have to create a separate entry for each OT book (e.g. <psalms>, <deut>). Then select a highlighting method. Notice the Purple highlighted footnote marker in the ESV for OT quote in Matt 4. Also notice the custom highlight (that i just created) next to Duet quotes in Matt 4.

The down side to this is that L4 will show all footnotes highlighted in the OT as well.Anyway this is the best i could do

I knew you were teasing! I am a visual learner and I always love the step by step screenshots that get posted here and in the wiki. I start with those, play around with it, expand on it and learn a whole lot that helps me.

Open up the resource Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament, then select all the text in that resource. That resource has problem with scrolling, sometimes it just hangs for a while, but eventually I got it all selected. It's not that long. I clicked near the top and used my mouse wheel to scroll to the bottom while holding down the mouse button.

Go back to the passage list and click on the Add menu. Select Add passages from...selected text. This will add all the references from the Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament resource, assuming you selected it all properly.

Sort the passage list and delete the NT references, since we only wanted to use the OT references in this filter. (I actually saved the NT references in a separate passage list for later use).

Create a new Visual Filter "OT/NT quotes".

Change the type of filter to Morph.

Set the visual filter to use the "OT in NT" passage list for the range instead of All Passages

Enter "@V OR @C OR @P OR @R OR @N OR @A OR @X" in the search field without the quotes. I tried using a Bible search with an asterisk wildcard without success so I settled on using the morph codes.

Select the highlight style you want to use. I used red.

Open your bible and make sure the "OT/NT quotes" filter is on. Not all the words in the highlighted verses will be highlighted, but enough will to make it clear. (This is because Logos only highlights one of the English words associated with a matching Greek/Hebrew word. I wish it would highlight all of the associated English words)

Logos needs to add a new filter type that will highlight whole verses based on a passage list. This wildcard stuff just doesn't cut it.
